Demystifying hashtag hijacking in the public opinion game: Attention, narratives, and social bots
Hashtag hijacking has become a prevalent strategy of issue competition on social media. This study explores its attention dynamics, narrative strategies, and manipulation by social bots under the theoretical framework of game theory. The results reveal that hashtag hijacking does not strictly follow zero-sum logic, but instead exhibits either zero-sum or variable-sum dynamics in tweets, as well as mixed relationships (where competition and cooper…
The relationship between abnormalities in amygdala functional connectivity and emotion regulation difficulties in problematic smartphone users
Problematic Smartphone Use (PSU) refers to behaviors that are detrimental to a user's physical and mental health due to poor cell phone usage. Established resting-state functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) studies have shown that changes in the strength of connectivity between the amygdala and regulatory networks such as the precuneus and cerebellum are strongly associated with emotional impulsivity in a variety of addictive behaviors. However, t…
Conditionals in Mandarin: A Corpus-based Study from A Semantic Perspective
This corpus-based study delves into the expression of conditional constructions in Mandarin Chinese, employing a detailed analysis of both written and spoken data derived from four commonly used Mandarin corpora. Utilizing a mixed qualitative method, the research focuses on four widely-used conditional markers: rúguǒ, jiǎrú, yàoshì, and yàobushì. The investigation aims to understand the syntactic function of these markers in initiating basic cond…

To Relocate Or Not to Relocate: A Logit Regression Model of Factors Influencing Corporate Headquarter Relocation Decision in China
China’s 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road Project (involving USD1 trillion) is one of the most ambitious projects in human history. Although this trans-continental project presents tremendous development opportunities for businesses and cities within and outside China, there is nascent progress in some cities, for example, Quanzhou. With limited development prospects, enterprises are considering partial or total relocation to central cities to over…

Stereotypes About Gender and Science: Women ≠ Scientists
We conducted two studies and our primary goal was to assess the similarity between stereotypes about women and men and stereotypes about successful scientists. In addition, we examined the degree to which scientists, men, and women are seen as agentic or communal. Results revealed greater similarity between stereotypes about men and stereotypes about scientists than between stereotypes about women and scientists. Men and scientists were seen as h…
